Baby Chick Raspy Chirp - Worried New Chick Mama ♡

[bumblychicken]

I think I figured out how to share a video of an example

So she has been sounding like this for days. Otherwise, eating, drinking, pooping normally and just as active as the others. I've been told no need to worry if I don't hear anything weird from her when she's breathing, or stuff coming from her eyes or nose and basically any other respiratory issues.

But I am such a worry wart and love these babies so much I desperately wanna know if someone else here has experienced this in a baby chick because so far I haven't had any luck with that.

My hopeful answer is that she just sounds different, but she sounds so raspy/wheezy while chirping almost like she's gone hoarse. And she chirps just as much as the others so I hear it constantly and am like "oh my gosh is she okay" because it sounds so concerning.

New chick mama here just wanting some more reassurance or maybe an answer/solution depending on what's going on

If the chick is otherwise active and eating and drinking normally, it’s probably fine. She might have a respiratory defect or might just be different. You could feed her some molasses water or nutridrench if you’re worried. That will help her have enough energy to fight off anything happening to her.

I've given them all some chick boost several times! I think it may be a little bit different from nutridrench but now I know that stuff exists so thank you

Good luck! I hope your silly chick does well!
